ABSTRACT
It is known that psychoanalysis has placed the Oedipus complex as the central nodule of neurosis and the fundamental basis for the bringing to light of love, hate, jeaiousy and rivalry as essential aspects of sexual development of the individual. Research into the Oedipus myth has become enriched lately by important contributions which have referred, almost all of them predominantly, to the sexual content of the drama and to the active or passive, sadistic or masochistic, libidinal or aggressive links between the individual and the parental couple. In the narrative of the Oedipus myth one aspect of Oedipus obstructs the determination with which another part of him tries to continue the search. This chapter points out the resistance of the analyst, which leads him to reinforce the use of his psychoanalytical theories among other things and, on other occasions, taking onto himself the resistances of the patient in order to obstruct the development of the treatment and psychoanalytical knowledge.
